Large lump at front of lower leg

Hi I am new to the forum and I have read a lot of articles from different people  

I went to my GP practice three weeks ago with a lump in my leg, at the side of my tibia. The GP I saw was non committal and didn't give me any indication of what she thought it may be. She decided to refer me for an ultrasound. 

Three weeks later I am getting a dull ache in the lower leg and my foot keeps going numb, so decided to go back to the doctors and this time saw a different doctor who is a Proffessor who took a completely different approach to the lump. He said it was odd and said he wasn't sure if it was attached to the bone or coming from the muscle. I was told to get an xray first thing this morning and he will expedite any further action..

Needless to say I am very anxious and will feel better once I know the outcome either way  

Anyone else in a similar situation ?

  • Hi, I've had an ultrasound on my leg today for a lump in my leg next to my tibia like you have described, after the scan they said they can't discuss results with me and my doctor will arrange an appointment with me to discuss what happens next so playing the waiting game now. Did you find out what yours was x
